Posted: Sunday, February 01, 2009

A course on Responsible Boating will be offered from 9:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Gander Mountain, 10300 W. Interstate 40. The course is open to the public and offered without charge by the US Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 52, Texas Parks and Wildlife and Gander Mountain. Graduates 12 years and older will earn the Texas Boater Education card, for which there is a $13 fee.

Texas law requires that operators of motorboats and personal watercraft be 18 years old or have earned the Boater Education card.
